The Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Draft Plan is Now Available for Public Comment!
The Sonoma County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan (MJHMP) is a countywide effort involving 22 Sonoma County jurisdictions to identify risks from hazards and to outline strategies that reduce future disaster impacts. A formal public comment period will be held from October 20 – November 21, 2025, during which community members are invited to review the draft plan and share feedback. Your input will help ensure the plan reflects local experiences, priorities, and solutions, and will strengthen the county’s ability to secure state and federal funding for future resilience projects.

Public Meetings are being scheduled during the Public Comment period. Click here for meeting details.
Comments may be submitted via email to hazardmitigation@sonomacounty.gov or be received at facilitated public meetings.
When submitting feedback, please be as specific as possible (including citing sections, pages, or maps) and include whether your feedback is for all participating jurisdictions or relevant for a specific city, town, special district or the county. Please submit any comment by November 21, 2025 at 5:00PM. All comments, whether submitted by email or at meetings, will be considered by the Planning Partnership when revising the draft before final submission to CalOES and FEMA.
What Happens Next:
Sonoma County and participating jurisdictions review and compile public input. Revisions are made as feasible; responses to comments may be documented in the final plan or appendix. The final plan is submitted to CalOES and FEMA for review and approval. Once approved, each jurisdiction formally adopts the plan (local resolution). The adopted plan guides mitigation investments and makes jurisdictions eligible for certain state and federal funding. Thank you for taking the time to review and share your feedback—your input is essential to shaping a safer, more resilient Sonoma County. Together, we can build a plan that reflects the needs and priorities of our whole community.
